From the shores of Taputapuātea to the harbor of Pape‘etē, Tahiti, we celebrated the voyage of Hōkūleʻa and Hikianalia across Moananuiākea.
 
Their arrival was more than a homecoming. It was a reconnection between sister islands, tied together by history, culture, and the ocean that unites us. It honored the voyaging legacy of our ancestors and carried forward their spirit of
exploration and connection across the Pacific.

What an unforgettable moment for Hawaiʻi. As a proud sponsor of Disney’s Lilo & Stitch world premiere, we celebrated our culture, community, and creativity taking center stage. From the traditional protocol by Hālau ʻo Lilinoe to the heartfelt meeting between Miss Aloha Hula 2025 and Maia Kealoha—the new Lilo—this premiere honored the stories that make Hawaiʻi truly special.

Experience Disney’s Lilo & Stitch, now playing exclusively in theatres.

May Day is Lei Day. The lei, known all over the world, is a symbol of aloha. Great care is taken in gathering the materials to make a lei. After the materials are gathered, they are prepared and then fashioned into a lei. As this is done, the mana (or spirit) of the creator of the lei is sewn or woven into it. Therefore, when you give a lei, you are giving a part of you. Likewise, as you receive a lei, you are receiving a part of the creator of the lei.

What’s your favorite kind of lei?

Our continental U.S.-based team, Meet Hawai‘i, embraced Earth Day with impactful actions. Kathy Dever focused on collecting vital plants to support local butterflies and hummingbirds during the spring and summer.

Keep an eye out for our Meredith Parkins, easily spotted in her bright neon vest as she conducted a street cleanup for Earth Day!

Susanna Flores had a beach cleanup in Rhode Island.

Even in Las Vegas, Christina Jeremiah and her family contributed to Earth Day by cleaning up their local area. Their efforts highlight how every small action makes a difference in protecting our environment and wildlife!🌎
